Yeah their game is fantasy, how does that not mean it's a generation beyond what we call "mmos". Books are fantasy, but they are NOT movies which I would consider a new generation of Fantasy. Single player Balder's Gate games are fantasy but I think MMOs are a generation beyond that as well. I'm pretty sure he is describing the game, not the genre. There isn't anything wrong with "new" fantasy games. I don’t see the problem. Yeah their game is fantasy, how does that not mean it’s a generation beyond what we call “mmos”.
